Hey,

the link below will help you to achieve this - just bare in mind it wipes everything so be sure to back up any files, pics, music etc before you do it

Settings<backup and reset

As a general rule, I remove my SD Card, just in case. I'd be some sorta torked if that bit the dust but I have everything backed up. The process is relatively quick - maybe 10 minutes tops.

Yes, but there may not be as many steps as Kevin listed to get to the same area to backup. I can't remember - it seems like years since I had the S3. Lol

Haha! Oh how I miss my G3. I dropped it off a cliff back in 2012 lol

Thanks again everyone. I was able to reset it with no problems. Now I just have to make sure this fool doesn't tear up my phone. I loved my red s3. It still looks new. Lol
